1600032381Paris: Marc Orry 1600 A good copy of the 2nd French edition of Joseph Acosta's important work on the New World first published in Spanish in 1590. Acosta was a Jesuit who spent 17 years in South America and Mexico. His work based on careful observation formed one of the first accounts of the New World. This copy is in probably contemporary full vellum binding with yapp edges. The original ties have gone. It is difficult to say if the binding was hard or soft cover because at some point in its history it has had an old stiff embossed wallpaper with gilt birds and flowers used to form new endpapers. There are no pages before the title page which has had a strip added at the bottom and which is coming loose. Contents: title page; dedication pp ii-iv; advert; poems 4pp; Extrait du Privilege du Roi 1p; Text in 7 books pp 1-375; table of contents 34 pp. The text pages are numbered on the recto only. With decorative head pieces and initial capitals. The text is very clean with just the occasional mark and some light underlining at p 238 but p 58 is missing. P 31 is mispaginated as p 13; p 267 is un-numbered and p 97 is very thin with a hole in the bottom margin. The final third of the book is quite difficult to open fully - probably because of the way the endpapers have been added. Marc Orry hardcover

He divided the rest of the Decretum into 36 causae cases each of which describes an imagined situation from which Gratian derived and discussed up to eleven legal questions. The first causa is devoted to simony the sin of selling ecclesiastical office.

171962442à Paris: Par La Compagnie des libraires 1719. Fine. Par La Compagnie des libraires à Paris 1719 9 x 16 cm relié New edition after the first very rare published in 1670. Huet's Treatise on the Origin of Novels in the form of a letter to Segrais appears at the end of the first part of Zaïde. Armorial copy of Charlotte Emilie Le Fèvre de Caumartin de La cour de Balleroy daughter of Louis-François Le Fèvre de Caumartin lord of Boissy and wife of the Marquis de la Cour de Balleroy. Feminine arms are rare and sought after as few women formed libraries with their coat of arms. The Marquise de Balleroy who died in 1749 settled in Normandy and maintained an intense correspondence with the highest nobility from which she descended. Full speckled brown calf bindings. Raised band spines with decorative tooling. Morocco title labels in tan volume labels in speckled brown calf. Headcap of volume II split. A brown stain in corner of first 10 leaves of volume I gradually fading this stain recurring later spreading then disappearing. A browner area at edge of right corner of volume I on upper board. Despite some flaws a handsome copy. It is now considered that Zaïde was a collaborative work by Segrais and Madame de La Fayette whose Princess of Clèves would appear in 1678. Segrais was her secretary and it is thought that he provided the materials and historical research while Madame de La Fayette handled the entire writing. The action takes place in Spain in the 9th century. Consalve son of one of the greatest counts of Castile takes in Zaïde daughter of a Muslim prince following a shipwreck. Very quickly he falls in love with her but the two young people do not speak the same language. Par La Compagnie des libraires unknown
